"Memory and CPU utilization features are good."
"I like some of their newer features, such as maintenance schedules, because SCOM records SLA and SLO time."
"I like the historical reporting of observer metrics."
"The most valuable feature is the extensibility, as there are really no limits as to what you can do with it."
"It is a user-friendly product that requires almost no maintenance."
"We have found the scalability capabilities to be okay."
"Availability monitoring is the feature I have found most valuable, as well as the capacity and ability to send notifications."
"It discovers the components automatically, which is a fantastic thing. The discovery works in an automatic way, and it has a dynamic way of discovering the components, assets, and applications. It doesn't require any manual intervention."
"It's easy to use."
"They can improve checking the status of the CPU, memory, and IO utilization from each task."
"The dashboard features are not user-friendly for our management team, only for the technical department."
"In terms of features that could be improved, I would say the agent integration into the operating system. We are having difficulties integrating Linux into some of the networking devices."
"It would be a much better product if Microsoft provided management packs with the product."
"It'll help if they can provide real-time or closer to real-time monitoring."
"System Center just provided upgrade and update features for Windows clients, and Windows systems, and did not support Linux, Android, or iOS, and other operating systems. They need to provide better integration with other operating systems if they don't already."
"I would like to see them improve their network monitoring."
"They can focus more on cloud monitoring instead of on-premise monitoring. We should be able to monitor cloud-related applications. They can include this feature in the next release. If it is in the cloud, we can have scalability by using Kubernetes. The container is containerized, packaged, and managed using Kubernetes. This feature is not there in SCOM. Going forward, if they can focus on that, it will be great."
"The interface is a little bit cumbersome and certain actions could be simplified."
